When the 2025 Continental Classic ended with AEW saving Jon Moxley from himself, fans were quick to discuss and even share a screenshot of a potential Women’s Continental Classic. The image features a Diamond and Purple League with ten of AEW’s best female wrestlers, including Serena Deeb, who has been vocal about it on social media.
Many AEW fans want the women’s locker room to have its own version of the round robin tournament. The AEW roster has enough women. The division has never been stronger. There’s a variety of characters, personalities, and experiences in the locker room. After earning their first Blood and Guts match in 2025 after years of grind, there’s no reason 2026 could not see a Women’s Continental Classic introduced.
Yet, honestly, it would not be equitable to the men. What makes the Continental Classic special is the interconnectedness and stakes. The unpredictability throughout the tournament. The time matches are given, the “Feeling” that allows you to spend time fantasising about the outcomes, only for AEW to go with an unexpected option.
Five conditions need to be met to replicate the experience. The AEW’s Women’s Tag Team Championship Tournament provided excitement and unpredictability. The Women’s Blood and Guts match slayed, although both concepts had their setbacks. For a Women’s Continental Classic to aspire and obtain the same reverence as the Men’s, five conditions must be met.
